Description

This is a tombchest located 4 metres to the southwest of the south transept of the Church of St Materiana in Tintagel, dating from 1702. It commemorates Thomas, the son of John and Tamsin Hemince, who was killed by lightning that same year. The tombchest is made of slate stone rubble and features a rectangular slate lid. It is inscribed with a marginal inscription in upper case lettering and a verse in the central panel, which reflects on Thomas's tragic death and expresses themes of divine providence and judgment.
